South vs. north facing flower quality comparison

[desertsagebro]

Does the north side of an outdoor/greenhouse marijuana plant produce lesser results as compared to the southern facing side?

In the northern hemisphere, our August-October flowering season sees the sun decline into the southern sky, greatly reducing the northern side of a plant's direct sun exposure. With large plants, the shading effect seems like it could be substantial.

Does this result in lower quality flowers on the north side than the south? Less dense and less frosty?

My plants tend to grow taller along the solid wall in my GH so they grow a little lop sided. They get no direct sunlight from the back side until 10:00 or so. Have not noticed any difference at all in the size or quality of the buds.

If you are in the northern hemisphere you would want to use south facing because that's where the sun is directed from. The equator is closest to the sun which would be south. If you use a south facing slope for example you would have the sun going in front of your plant all day vs a north facing slope where the plant would receive little to no sun. So on a east facing slope would get morning sun but nothing afternoon and a west slope would receive evening sun because the sun sets in the west. You understand the concept I throwing at you ?
